Final Say
Philadelphia has been on fire lately going 5-1 SU and 4-1-1 ATS in their last six games, while they have owned Washington going 7-2 SU and 6-2-1 ATS in their last nine meetings. Washington has been in rough shape, and are coming off an embarrassing loss to the Cowboys. It was the type of embarrassing loss that makes you want to try harder and redeem yourself. Washington is 0-4-1 ATS in their last five games against the NFC East, and have lost three straight to division rivals, which is another reason to be motivated to redeem yourself. Another reason is Washington’s defense has given up 1,000 yards in their last two games, which is completely uncharacteristic of their defense. It’s tough to pull off three straight victories against divisional foes, and Washington is going to want to play spoiler. The hook should come in handy in what should be a close game. Underdogs are 3-1-1 ATS in their last five meetings.
Pick: Washington Football Team +3.5
